My grandmothers condition was serious, any infection could affect her health so we had to keep her away from every possible infection she could get!
It was not easy at all. We had to wash our hands before entering the room and sanitize our hands before touching her. We had to boil her water, clean her bottles, change her position everytime to avoid bed sores and stay awake the whole night to take care of her. There were times where we wouldn't get enough sleep but nothing mattered to us more than her recovery!
We were never tired of it, but we were happy because we loved taking care of her the way she took care of us all her life!
There was a time when her brain started swelling which was very life threatening! The doctors notified us to remove her from the ventilator as her condition was now too serious. They also advised us to go for a brain surgery which was only an attempt to save her life but they convinced us that she wouldn't have a normal life after surgery, she would never be able to talk again and would be bedridden forever.
It was very hard to make a decision. Even though I was not there at that moment but my heart was wrenching,I knew something was wrong. Maybe no one told me about this because I wouldn't be able to handle myself!
What should we have done? Remove her from the ventilator to avoid giving her so many sufferings or go for the surgery to atleast TRY to save her despite knowing she wouldn't have a normal life and that we have to take care of her till her last breath because we all had atleast 50% hope that she may recover.
Everyone was downhearted while I was at the temple praying for her survival. I remembered her promise to be with me at every stage of my life including my graduation, my first job and my marriage! I fought with God to save her so she could be there with me atleast on my graduation! I had also promised her certain things including a vacation from my own money. I wanted to show her how beautiful life is but from my own salary! I prayed to God the whole night to save her life and the next day we all decided to go for surgery! We knew if we didnt go for the surgery, we would have this regret of letting her go too easily! And guess what? The surgery was successful! Thanks to God!
He saved her life and my heart was filled with love for God!
